definition

UpSingletRightHandedWeylCC3\text{UpSinglet} \simeq \text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3

The definition establishes a linear equivalence between the type `UpSinglet`, which represents the target vector space of an up-type singlet quark field in the Standard Model, and its underlying representation as the tensor product RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3. Here, RightHandedWeyl\text{RightHandedWeyl} is the space of right-handed Weyl fermions and C3\mathbb{C}^3 (represented as `EuclideanSpace ℂ (Fin 3)`) is the 3-dimensional complex color space.

instance

`UpSinglet` forms an additive commutative group

The space `UpSinglet`, which represents the target vector space of an up-type singlet quark field in the Standard Model, is equipped with the structure of an additive commutative group. This structure is inherited from the underlying representation RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3 via the equivalence `valEquiv`.

instance

`UpSinglet` forms a module over C\mathbb{C}

The space `UpSinglet`, which represents the target vector space of an up-type singlet quark field in the Standard Model, is equipped with the structure of a module over the complex numbers C\mathbb{C}. This complex vector space structure is inherited from its underlying representation as the tensor product RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3 (where RightHandedWeyl\text{RightHandedWeyl} is the space of right-handed Weyl fermions and C3\mathbb{C}^3 is the color space) via the equivalence `valEquiv`.

definition

Linear equivalence between UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} and RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3

The linear equivalence valLinEquivvalLinEquiv provides an isomorphism between the space of up-type singlet quarks UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} and its underlying representation as the tensor product RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3. Here, RightHandedWeyl\text{RightHandedWeyl} denotes the space of right-handed Weyl spinors and C3\mathbb{C}^3 (represented by EuclideanSpace C (Fin 3)\text{EuclideanSpace } \mathbb{C} \text{ (Fin 3)}) denotes the color space of the Standard Model.

theorem

valLinEquiv(q)=q.val\text{valLinEquiv}(q) = q.\text{val} for up-type singlet quarks

Let qq be an element of the space UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}, which represents the target vector space of an up-type singlet quark field in the Standard Model. Let valLinEquiv:UpSingletCRightHandedWeylCC3\text{valLinEquiv} : \text{UpSinglet} \simeq_{\mathbb{C}} \text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3 be the linear isomorphism between the up-type singlet space and its underlying representation as the tensor product of right-handed Weyl fermions and the color space C3\mathbb{C}^3. The theorem states that applying the map valLinEquiv\text{valLinEquiv} to qq is equal to accessing its underlying value q.valq.\text{val} in the tensor product space: valLinEquiv(q)=q.val\text{valLinEquiv}(q) = q.\text{val}

theorem

valLinEquiv1(m)=m\text{valLinEquiv}^{-1}(m) = \langle m \rangle for up-type singlet quarks

Let mRightHandedWeylCC3m \in \text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3 be an element in the tensor product space of right-handed Weyl fermions and the Standard Model color space. The inverse of the linear equivalence valLinEquiv:UpSingletCRightHandedWeylCC3\text{valLinEquiv} : \text{UpSinglet} \simeq_{\mathbb{C}} \text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3, when applied to mm, is equal to the element m\langle m \rangle in the UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} space.

theorem

val(q1+q2)=val(q1)+val(q2)\text{val}(q_1 + q_2) = \text{val}(q_1) + \text{val}(q_2) for up-type singlet quarks

Let q1q_1 and q2q_2 be elements of the space `UpSinglet`, which represents the target vector space of up-type singlet quark fields in the Standard Model. Let val\text{val} be the map that extracts the representation of these fields in the underlying tensor product space RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3. Then, the addition of two fields in `UpSinglet` is compatible with the addition in the underlying space, such that (q1+q2).val=q1.val+q2.val(q_1 + q_2).\text{val} = q_1.\text{val} + q_2.\text{val}.

theorem

val(rq)=rval(q)\text{val}(r \cdot q) = r \cdot \text{val}(q) for up-type singlet quarks

Let rCr \in \mathbb{C} be a complex scalar and qUpSingletq \in \text{UpSinglet} be an up-type singlet quark field. Let val\text{val} be the map that extracts the representation of the field in the underlying tensor product space RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3. Then, the scalar multiplication of a field in UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} is compatible with the scalar multiplication in the underlying space, such that val(rq)=rval(q)\text{val}(r \cdot q) = r \cdot \text{val}(q).

definition

Lorentz representation on UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} quarks

The complex representation of the group SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C}) (the double cover of the restricted Lorentz group) on the space of up-type singlet quark fields UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}. Under the linear isomorphism UpSingletRightHandedWeylCC3\text{UpSinglet} \cong \text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3, the action of an element ΛSL(2,C)\Lambda \in SL(2, \mathbb{C}) is defined as the tensor product of the right-handed Weyl representation on the spinor factor and the trivial representation on the 3-dimensional color space C3\mathbb{C}^3.

definition

Representation of the Standard Model gauge group on UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}

The representation of the Standard Model gauge group G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) on the space of up-type singlet quark fields UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}. Identifying UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} with the tensor product RightHandedWeylCC3\text{RightHandedWeyl} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathbb{C}^3, the action of an element gGg \in \mathcal{G} on a pure tensor ψv\psi \otimes v is given by: g(ψv)=(gU(1))4ψ(gSU(3)v) g \cdot (\psi \otimes v) = (g_{U(1)})^4 \psi \otimes (g_{SU(3)} v) where gU(1)U(1)g_{U(1)} \in U(1) is the projection of gg onto the U(1)U(1) factor and gSU(3)SU(3)g_{SU(3)} \in SU(3) is the projection of gg onto the SU(3)SU(3) factor. The SU(2)SU(2) component of the gauge group acts trivially.

theorem

g(ψv)=(gU(1))4ψ(gSU(3)v)g \cdot (\psi \otimes v) = (g_{U(1)})^4 \psi \otimes (g_{SU(3)} v) for up-type singlet quarks

Let gg be an element of the Standard Model gauge group G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1). For a right-handed Weyl spinor ψ\psi and a color vector vC3v \in \mathbb{C}^3, the representation of gg acting on the pure tensor ψv\psi \otimes v in the space of up-type singlet quark fields UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} is given by: g(ψv)=(gU(1))4ψ(gSU(3)v) g \cdot (\psi \otimes v) = (g_{U(1)})^4 \psi \otimes (g_{SU(3)} v) where gU(1)U(1)g_{U(1)} \in U(1) and gSU(3)SU(3)g_{SU(3)} \in SU(3) are the components of gg in their respective subgroups.

theorem

Action of the gauge group on the UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} basis as a sum over SU(3)SU(3) matrix elements

Let G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) be the Standard Model gauge group. Let gGg \in \mathcal{G} be an element, and let gU(1)U(1)Cg_{U(1)} \in U(1) \subset \mathbb{C} and gSU(3)SU(3)g_{SU(3)} \in SU(3) be its projections onto the U(1)U(1) and SU(3)SU(3) factors, respectively. Let {ek}k{0,1}\{e_k\}_{k \in \{0, 1\}} be the basis for the space of right-handed Weyl fermions and {ci}i{0,1,2}\{c_i\}_{i \in \{0, 1, 2\}} be the standard basis for the color space C3\mathbb{C}^3. The action of the representation of the gauge group on the basis element ekcie_k \otimes c_i of the up-type singlet quark space UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} is given by the sum: g(ekci)=i=02(gU(1)4(gSU(3))ii)(ekci) g \cdot (e_k \otimes c_i) = \sum_{i' = 0}^2 (g_{U(1)}^4 \cdot (g_{SU(3)})_{i'i}) (e_k \otimes c_{i'}) where (gSU(3))ii(g_{SU(3)})_{i'i} is the entry of the SU(3)SU(3) matrix at row ii' and column ii.

theorem

ρ(g1)=ρ(g2)    (g1)U(1)4(g1)SU(3)=(g2)U(1)4(g2)SU(3)\rho(g_1) = \rho(g_2) \iff (g_1)_{U(1)}^4 (g_1)_{SU(3)} = (g_2)_{U(1)}^4 (g_2)_{SU(3)} for Up-Type Singlets

Let G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) be the Standard Model gauge group. For any two elements g1,g2Gg_1, g_2 \in \mathcal{G}, the linear operators ρ(g1)\rho(g_1) and ρ(g2)\rho(g_2) representing their action on the space of up-type singlet quark fields are equal if and only if for all matrix indices i,ji, j, the following equality holds: (g1)U(1)4((g1)SU(3))ij=(g2)U(1)4((g2)SU(3))ij (g_1)_{U(1)}^4 ((g_1)_{SU(3)})_{ij} = (g_2)_{U(1)}^4 ((g_2)_{SU(3)})_{ij} where (g)U(1)(g)_{U(1)} is the projection of gg onto the U(1)U(1) component (represented as a complex number of unit norm) and ((g)SU(3))ij((g)_{SU(3)})_{ij} is the (i,j)(i, j)-th entry of the 3×33 \times 3 matrix representing the SU(3)SU(3) component of gg.

theorem

gker(ρUpSinglet)    gSU(3)=aI and agU(1)4=1g \in \ker(\rho_{\text{UpSinglet}}) \iff g_{SU(3)} = a I \text{ and } a g_{U(1)}^4 = 1

Let gg be an element of the Standard Model gauge group G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1), and let ρ\rho be the representation of G\mathcal{G} on the space of up-type singlet quark fields UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}. Then gg lies in the kernel of ρ\rho if and only if there exists a complex number aCa \in \mathbb{C} such that the SU(3)SU(3) component of gg, denoted gSU(3)g_{SU(3)}, is the scalar matrix aIa I (where II is the identity matrix) and the U(1)U(1) component of gg, denoted gU(1)g_{U(1)}, satisfies agU(1)4=1a \cdot g_{U(1)}^4 = 1.

theorem

subgroup(Z6)ker(ρUpSinglet)\text{subgroup}(\mathbb{Z}_6) \subseteq \ker(\rho_{\text{UpSinglet}})

Let GI=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)G_I = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) be the Standard Model gauge group without discrete quotients. Let UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} be the vector space representing the up-type singlet quark field, and let ρ\rho be the representation of GIG_I on UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}. Then the central subgroup of GIG_I associated with the Z6\mathbb{Z}_6 quotient, denoted subgroup(Z6)\text{subgroup}(\mathbb{Z}_6), is contained in the kernel of the representation ρ\rho (kerρ\ker \rho).

theorem

The central subgroup of any Standard Model gauge group quotient QQ is contained in ker(repUpSinglet)\ker(\text{rep}_{\text{UpSinglet}})

For any choice of discrete quotient QQ of the Standard Model gauge group GI=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)G_I = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1), the associated central subgroup subgroup(Q)GI\text{subgroup}(Q) \subseteq G_I is contained within the kernel of the representation of GIG_I acting on the space of up-type singlet quarks (UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}).

definition

Representation of GaugeGroup(Q)\text{GaugeGroup}(Q) on UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}

Given a quotient parameter QQ of type `GaugeGroupQuot`, this definition defines a representation of the corresponding global Standard Model gauge group GaugeGroup(Q)\text{GaugeGroup}(Q) on the space of up-type singlet quarks UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet} over the complex numbers C\mathbb{C}. For the un-quotiented case (Q=IQ = I), the representation is given by `repGaugeGroupI`. For the cases where QQ corresponds to a discrete quotient (by Z2\mathbb{Z}_2, Z3\mathbb{Z}_3, or Z6\mathbb{Z}_6), the representation is defined by lifting the representation of the un-quotiented group GI=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)G_I = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) to the quotient group GI/ΓQG_I / \Gamma_Q. This lift is well-defined because the discrete subgroup ΓQ\Gamma_Q is contained in the kernel of the representation of GIG_I on UpSinglet\text{UpSinglet}.
